KANSAS CITY, Dec. 20.-The snow,
which began falling here last night,
continued until the rapidly falling
temperature checked it this morning.
The mercury tonight is hover
ing about the zero point, and
the snow on a level averages six
inches in depth. All the railroads
are seriously impeded. The worst suf-
ferers are the Southern Kansas and
Kansas City, Fort Scott s. Gulf lines.
Their territory has not been troubled
with heavy SHOWS for so long that they
were not prepared for the blizzard.
The Gulf trains were six hours late,
while none of to-day's Southern Kan
sas trains has yet arrived. Snow in
Colorado has prevented this mornings
Union Pacific train from Denver arriv-
ing, but the snow plows Of that road
be fixed all right in few days. The
outward bound trains on the
Burlington s. Missouri rail-
road were abandoned, and nearly
all the outgoing trains were delayed
from twenty minutes to two hours in
starting. A telegram tonight from
Geuda Springs, Kan, near the Indian
Territory, says that the blizzard there
has completely stopped railroad traffic.
The SNOW is not general in this vicin-
| ity, but from Kansas, Nebraska, Col
orado and Missouri come reports of
| heavy winds and bitter cold, increas-
| ing in intensity.
The Times has telegraphic advices
| which indicate that there is terrible
suffering in the western part of Kan
sas. -Four people ara reported dead in
Clark county from the cold, while neal
Oighton, Kas., woman and her two
children are known to have persisted.
There is great suffering in that section
of the state, owing to the scarcity OF
coal. The supply was exhausted dur
ing previous cold snap in the first
part Of the month, and the situation il
now deplorable. The suffering is aug
mented by the fact that food is al.
most as scarce as fuel. Many OF the
inhabitants are settlers who located
claims last summer, and who are de
pendent on what the railroads bring in
The railroads are trying to do all IL
their power to relieve the dis tress, bu
they are handicapped by the scarcit!
of cars. They have not enough TO sup
ply the urgent demand for food ant
fuel, and widespread distress is in
evitable. unless the weather speedif,
moderates. The Santa Fe road ha

tie way and picked up his companions,
who were behind, then drove forward as
last as the construction of the car would
permit. Pushing with a long pole In nat
boat fashion, quite rapid time could be
made on the level and on down grades,
while on the steep up grades two would
jump on and push at a full run.
At Ackworth they got a reinforcement
OF two men, Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Stockely,
and hurried forward. All idea that they

toperfectly understand their work. Fuller
and Murphy were now able, for the first

HurnsIdc posts Project.

Burnside Post, No. s, e. A. r., OF this
city, has started new idea which appears
valuable. Printed lists Of questions with
appropriate spaces for answers, have been
distributed to comrades Of the post, with the
request that each comrade should retain one
list, duly filled out, among his private pa
pers and file duplicate with the post for
preservation among It's records. The ques-
tons are such that the proper answers to
th, IN will give brief personal history Of
each comrade, including not only his mill
tary record but such other facts as are
usually stated In brief sketch Of mans
life; aud a committee has been appointed to
obtain and prepare similar history of each
deceased comrade Of the post. The idea
seems worthy Of general adoption by the
